Help make White House Conference on Food and Nutrition a reality!



ANSA is thrilled to announce that Representatives James McGovern and Jo Ann Emerson have recently re-introduced legislation calling for a White House Conference on Food and Nutrition to be held by December 31, 2010.
We have long-advocated for such a conference to address how the United States will meet the nutritional needs of the more than 36 million Americans who experience food insecurity – including more than 5 million seniors and critically ill men, women and children.

We need your help to build support for the White House Conference!

Please make a call to urge your Representative to sign on as a co-sponsor of H.R. 1869, a bill requiring a White House Conference on Food and Nutrition, to be held by December 31, 2010. Please call the Capitol switchboard at 202-224-3121 and ask for your Representative’s office. (Click

Please let us know when you’ve placed your calls so we can follow up and ensure strong support for this legislation. Email Mat Gulick if you have any questions about ANSA, our advocacy work or a proposed White House Conference on Food and Nutrition.
